Overview
The 1734-VHSC24 model from Allen Bradley serves as a very high-speed counter module that operates with a nominal input voltage of 24V DC. As part of the POINT I/O™ family, this module integrates seamlessly into existing Rockwell Automation control systems. As a key element in the Rockwell Automation® Integrated Architecture®, its comprehensive diagnostics and configurable features allow the product to be easily applied to any automation system and reduce engineering costs through standardization. The open-style design enables flexible installation and maintenance in machine control panels and remote device installations.
Key Features
